Mini Log Cabin Bag FREE sewing tutorial.

You can create this scrappy Log Cabin tote from 5” squares in just a weekend. What a great way to use up even your smallest scraps of fabric. You don’t need to be a quilter to follow this pattern and create this log-cabin block for this bag pattern – it’s really easy to piece the design and no actual quilting is necessary unless you really want to!

This is a great scrap buster, or you can make it from purchased charm square packs too for a pretty and fully co-ordinated look.

When you have finished making your Mini Log Cabin Bag it will measure approximately 8 ½” by 9 ½” by 1 ½”.
